I'd forgotten about this one. From my 2010 archives and I can't even remember where in the valley I shot this. The high, steep cliffs of Yosemite Valley provide some of the best intimate landscapes in black and white especially when the clouds do their lingering dance. And, yes, I think I should review all my Yosemite shots to see what else I may have missed.
Nice, Jean! I mlike the alternating layers of light and dark. I would like to more detail in the rock face in lower right, though.
Considering the vantage point, this looks like a tele shot from either Tunnel View or Taft Point, looking up-valley.
You have gotten some tones in the mist--tough to do.

Real nice, Jean. The mist is great, adds a lot of excellent mood to the image. It is another of those magical Yosemite moments.

Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing, Jean.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Preston, there is a bit more detail in the rocks, but I think the conversion for web always takes just a bit from the image.
